144 A Little Hope Goes A Long Way

~Leo~

The day was fast approaching, and it made me restless. The fact that we did not know what we would expect in Gad made it worse. The men and I trained, and we practised our formation. Sylvester and I were in touch, and he told us we were still on course.

Ighor willingly continued communicating with Yuri, and according to their conversations, the meeting was going to hold.

Max and Kyle had involved their beta’s respectfully, and even though they wanted to join us in Gad, where the real battle would happen, I still decided

I would send them to the South.

We had somehow decided they won’t be a decoy. That they would actually fight and take Greenville from the Stepanovs. They were more than eager to oblige when they knew they had a real mission.

It would be logical to have Devin go with them, but we had a formation that worked best with Devin, so he would have to come with us.

It was evening time, and Alexei had gone to the VIP bunker to get Alia so he could spend time with her. He had been doing that since we arrived, and she was brought to Mountain.

I felt bad that he missed the birth of his twins, but he was already making it up to his mate. I decided to retire to my room to spend time with Amelia.

She would be going to the North the following day, and I won’t see her until after the battle. It was important that I spend quality time with her.

One of the things that troubled me was that Gezel was yet to get back to me on what we had discussed. I dreaded having to tell Amelia that her mother would be coming with us, but as things were, it seemed I might have to tell her tonight.

Dropping the bomb on her in the morning when she and Susan are leaving would be wrong. I thought to discuss the matter with Gezel before heading to my bedroom, so I linked her to ask her.

“Where are you?” I managed, and it took a bit before she answered.

“I am with your parents, Alpha Leo,” She replied calmly.

The woman’s grace made it clear that she came from a high-standing family. It was sad what Yuri did to her, and I could understand her desire to get even with the bastard. Still, there was no way she could go about it without risking her life and hurting Amelia in the process. I hoped she would allow us to handle the matter.

“Do you have a response to what we discussed?” I linked Gezel.

“I will get back to you in the morning. I have all the cards now, and I am contemplating. Please give me time, Alpha Leo. I know it is too much to ask, but I will plead with you not to tell Amelia now. I will make up my mind tonight,” She pleaded with me.

Her request did not sit well with me because I believed Amelia deserved to know her mother was planning a suicide mission. Still, I also knew I had to respect her decision and allow her to figure it out independently without pressure.
